You sure they are selling you an optical system?  The positive-ground Pertronix I have on my TR4 is a hall-effect unit.  It installed quite easily and did not even change the timing.  I have had no trouble so far, but I keep the points and wiring instructions in a small plastic container in the glove box just in case.
